	Drupalcon Chicago 2011 - Workbench: Managing Content Management - Robin Barre,Colleen Carroll,Ken Rickard Our clients often come to Drupal with expectations about the features of a content management system (CMS). In many cases, Drupal handles the features they expect. However, not all editorial tools are a part of Drupal Core, and Drupal has addressed these tools with various contributed modules. As a result, Drupal’s editorial space generally lacks a consistent workflow and interface. At DrupalCON San Francisco, Palantir.net outlined the opportunities we saw for improving content management work...

For my test, I installed Drupal 3.0.2, which was released on 26 November 2001. Note quite ten years old. What is fascinating about looking at the Drupal 3 release is just how much the Drupal 7 architecture has changed -- and just how much it has not.
